We didn't make it to Grange Hill due to the lost day but it's on the list for our next trip. Another of our party has a place in Chamonix which is meant to be quite different to Les Arcs - more slower technical stuff and more riding between sections. Love snowboarding in Morzine but have heard it gets v busy during bike season?

Hi Chakaping. Did that La Varda decent with Stevo in week 2. Awesome, looking forward to it again next year and riding a bit more of it. Link to the first exposed bit here.Click Here. Some more stuff there too and more to edit and post.

Haha, I barely registered the exposure at the time. Looks a lot more severe in that vid than I remember it.
I think I must have got quite good at not looking over the side.

the second corner is so washed out now compared to that - you have to go up on the front wheel to get round it ! it looks so wide there - they have also stuck in steel spikes to try and hold the path up - that what you will land on if it all goes wrong !

trail rat - that corner hasn't changed a bit in years. The spikes have been there for years too. No need to lift the back wheel, it rolls round no problem.

I had two uplift days with Coolbus last week, did La Varda and a bunch of other trails. Great trails, Coolbus (Rob was our guide) were spot on, weather was beautiful, but I got the mother of all doses of food poisoning - whole night before the first ride spent in the toilet, no sleep, almost no food for the two days. I'f I'd had the energy to pedal the bike it would have been a fantastic trip - I'd definitely recommend the area, and Coolbus.
